Cox has destroyed us twice against us in 2018 (5 goals!) and this year's QBDAY.

Quite happy for him to be omitted. 

Bit of squaring up to do with this [censored]$%

    No change. Best team defence for the year.

    Weideman featured pretty well in goal assists for us against Freo and I also think Melksham will be a big factor. Adds that blend of toughness on the forward line with his best mate in the BP as a present for gin in a pan.

    They might have some big INS... grundy and Howe.

    Howe played this week ? 


    Brown and Harmes both tests.  Hopefully Brown is not selected unless his knee is right and he can jump

    How? He had 1 kick for a goal. His throw (handball) would be classified as a goal assist, but that's where it ends.

    Isn’t there a mandatory 12-day break for concussion? How can Harmesy be a consideration?

    If Ben Brown is fit he plays but van Rooyen must be the next in line. Can't play Weid after a one possession game.

     

    B: Lever, May, Hibberd

    HB: Hunt, Petty, Salem

    C: Langdon, Brayshaw, Jordon

    HF: Petracca, Gawn, Neal-Bullen

    F: Fritsch, B.Brown, Pickett

    FOLL: Jackson, Oliver, Viney

    IC: Rivers, Sparrow, Spargo, Melksham

    SUB: Harmes 

    I will be surprised if Brown plays and I expect Sam to play. Put simply there is no one else. JVR played well but against the worst team in comp.

    Do you reckon he's going to get to play this week because I do.

    I don't know if Harmes should come straight back in to the team but I do know that he's a proven finals player and if we do call on him he will give us his everything and we have nothing to worry about.

    Is Harmes walk up best 22 anymore? I actually rated the balance of the team more with Hunt breaking some lines off HBF and Gus in the middle. Looked quite potent.

    I agree totally. Although Hunt can be a little fumbly at times, his presence in the side appeared to give us that extra dimension and potency. Having said that, the side just generally played better so everyone looks a bit more potent.

    Aside from the septic-tank having a day out, how did Collingwood get us last time? 
     

    My anger and IPA-consumption conveniently blocked the game from memory.

    They swooped on our undermanned defence and the fact Gawn was on one leg. It’s actually as simple as that. We were trying to plug holes. We couldn’t. We were in control of the game until half-time. After that, they slowly pegged it back, due largely to Cox having no opponent and doing it at both ends of the ground. He won’t be afforded that luxury this time.

    Out Neil Bullen for  Harmes if BBB available Weid also I would liker to find a position For Bowey if Melk slips he is the one we must keep Angus in the Centre and instruct Sparrow to use the Ball Better he is a very good Player.

    I also observed that the Yank did Not shake Maxes hand after the LAST Game that should be some motivation to seek revenge

    May out, Petty on and off injured, Max injured should've been subbed out but Turner was concussed so was subbed out instead. We kept bombing it straight down the throats of Cox and Moore.

    Grundy back in would really upset the balance they have right now!

    We here's hoping.

    BB (even if not 100%) is better than Weid. BB only needs 2 possessions to make a difference. No other changes.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
